Hello, I was 3 days late for my period and I m never late for them but the past couple weeks I ve had very tender breasts an nipples, my period today started out brownish pink an its lighter than my normal periods which are usually heavy, would this be implantation bleeding? This is the first time that my breasts have been hurting before my periods.

Hi,
If you never had a delayed period before and if you are not on any contraception and sexually active, it is likely that you could be pregnant. You can take a HPT with a fresh early morning sample. The spotting you have could be an implantation bleed. To be more confirmatory, you can get a pelvic/trans-vaginal sonogram. Implantation bleed is a fresh bleeding and lasts from a day to a few days and may sometimes mimic a normal period. Please see your specialist for an evaluation and management. Wish you good health.
